The decision comes amidst population growth and the rapid development of urban infrastructure in the area, aimed at enhancing administrative-territorial management efficiency.
Previously, Chairman of Astana’s city council, Kanalimov E.E., proposed the establishment of a sixth district within the city.
As per the proposal, the existing Almaty district will be divided into two:
- The northern part, retaining its historical name, Almaty district, covering an area of 8,518 hectares.
- The southern part, a newly established administrative district with a new name, encompassing a total area of 6,953 hectares, referred to as the projected area.
The draft plan is available for public discussion on the portal of open legal acts.
